Fireship — 'Did Google just dethrone OpenAI and Anthropic?'
Fireship tests Google's new model, which is said to beat GPT-6 and Claude Opus 5.5, by running all three models side by side.
Fireship puts Google's newest model head to head with GPT-6 and Claude Opus 5.5.
What is it?
'Did Google just dethrone OpenAI and Anthropic?' went up on Fireship's channel on 20 October 2026. The video asks whether Google's new model really outperforms GPT-6 and Claude Opus 5.5, as claimed.
How does it work?
Rather than repeat the launch benchmarks, Fireship tests the three frontier models directly against each other in a short video.
Why does it matter?
Google, OpenAI and Anthropic now ship frontier models within weeks of each other. A quick side-by-side test helps developers judge whether switching providers is worth it.
